COUNCIL MEMBER REPORTS
Mr. Johnson stated he enjoyed his visit with his family in the
Iowa but was glad to be back. During his visit he had the
opportunity to learn some interesting things about other cities
such as: availability of a Federal Loan Program whereby
municipalities borrow funds at low or no interest allowing them
to purchase property, bulldoze down what is there, prepare it for
commercial or high density residential use as appropriate and
then place it back on the market through a sealed bid process.
Between the price they get back for the property and the
anticipated increase in thetax base it supposedly pencils out.
Also, the Iowa State Agriculture Marketing Program is very
aggressive in its endeavor to market corn products and is
currently using corn starch mixed with plastic to manufacture 30-
90 day biodegradable plastic bags. They are also introducing
corn starch into the plastic diaper industry and possibly within
the next five years the disposal diaper industry will be going to
this process. And, he noted some of the things being talked
about by the Bremerton City Council are not that crazy and maybe
all industry needs is a little push to be more creative to boost
the manufacturing of recyclable products. On Wednesday he
attended a meeting along with several other Council members, the
Mayor and representatives of the Federal EPA, State DOE and Puget
Sound Water Quality Authority, to discuss the policies concerning
Sinclair Inlet and the construction of a Fishing Pier on the
Bremerton waterfront. The outcome of that meeting was that the
construction of the pier will not be held up, however, it will be
referred to as a Recreational Pier rather than Fishing Pier until
the water contamination issue is addressed. A new happening in
Kitsap County is establishment of an airline commuter service by
Delta Airlines and United Airlines via Bremerton National
Airport. He relayed a recent incident at SeaTac Airport where a
number of out-of-town visitors were trying to reach the Bremerton

area shortly after their flight arrived and were unable to due to
the Airporter Service Vehicle being too crowded. He noted this
would not happen as often or possibly never with the new
commuter service to Kitsap County and it should be a help to the
VCB in promoting conventions for our area. And finally, he heard
a news bulletin today that Congress is considering passing
legislation to return regulation of the Cable TV industry back
to municipalities. He was not sure how fast this might happen
and it will probably be very controversial as it goes through
Congress but now is the time to call your legislators and let
them know how they feel about this issue.
Mr. Colvin stated he had the pleasure of listening to Mayor Gene
Lobe speak before the Bremerton Central Lions Club meeting on
this date. Mayor Lobe explained, during his speech, all future
reference to the waterfront pier will be that it is a
"recreational pier". On Thursday, May 18, 7:30 p.m.., the
Sheridan Neighborhood Association will host Ken Atteberry, of the
Port Of Bremerton, as guest speaker and invited anyone interested
to attend this meeting. On behalf of some citizens of East
Bremerton he thanked the City's Recreation Department for the
quick response given to their request.
Mr. Dawkins announced the Senior Center will host an Open House
on May 19, 10 AM - 3:00 PM at the Nipsic Center and encouraged
Council members to attend. There will be a Memorial Day
Observance at Retsil on May 29, 9:00 AM and a ceremony at Ivy
Green Cemetery at 1:00 PM - USS Truxton Captain will be the guest
speaker. TCI's Cable Access crew will be taping the Memorial Day
event.
Mr. Collins reminded everyone that the Armed Forces Parade will
be held Saturday, May 20, and Bremerton has been named the
"Regional Armed Forces location" which will bring out one of the
largest contingent of military and other things having to do with
the Armed Forces. Also, he has been involved in organizing the
Baked Bean/Corn Bread Contest which will also include Cake
Decorating and Culinary Art...everyone is invited.
Mr. Crutcher noted that Seattle has been named the #1 place to
visit in the U.S., and he suggested that information from the VCB
promoting our area be sent out to as many other States as
possible encouraging tourist to come into our area.
Mrs. Horton reported she had the honor to served as a Judge at
the Armed Forces Pageant and the 10 young women contestants were
outstanding which made her job very difficult in selecting one
winner. Also, last week she was inaugurated into the Puget Sound
Air Quality Control Agency - she found the meeting to be very
interesting and announced on May 25 there will be a Public
Hearing in Seattle at Pier 66 and the topic will be "Burning Of
Wood Stoves". Anyone who might not be able to attend this
meeting but have questions they would like to ask - please call
Mrs. Horton at her home or the City Council Office (478-5280).
On July 13 the Air Quality Control Agency will be holding a
meeting in Bremerton. Also, there is a toll free phone line to
call to find out if a burning ban is on - there is a proposal
that each call to that line would be charged 30 cents. She
cautioned those interested in placing such calls to be aware that
they may be paying 30 cents even if all they get is a busy
signal.
Mr. Waibel stated that at the Public Hearing on May 25 (Air
Quality Control) will be discussing ways to obtain funding to
maintain the program and one of the proposals is for everyone who
has a wood burning stove that is certified or has one as their
only source of heat would be required to obtain a license. Mr.

Waibel displayed a new biodegradable plastic grocery bag which
is available at some of the local grocery stores ... which shows
our area is as up-to-date as other areas. And, he also attended
the Armed Forces Queen's Pageant and was particularly impressed
with the memorized speeches given by the contestants. Mr. Waibel
announced Kitsap Transit will hold a Transit Rodeo on May 21,
starting at 9:30 AM, at the Kitsap Mall.
Mr. Hornina stated the City is doing everything possible to see
that the "Recreation Pier" remains on schedule and is not harmful
to human health. He and Mr. Waibel were wearing big red badges
which said "Hats Off To Transit" - noting this date is Kitsap
Transit Award Day recognizing their National Silver Award which
is First Place in population base in the United States. A
special "Thank you" was extended to all the dedicated transit
employees who helped make this award possible. He also attended
the Armed Forces Queens Pageant and noted Bremerton High School
Auditorium is a magnificent place to hold such an event and he
hoped future pageants would be held in this facility.
PUBLIC RECOGNITION
Mayor Gene Lobe presented a Proclamation naming American Legion
Auxiliary Unites 68, 149, Veterans Of Foreign Wars Posts 239 and
3694, promoting the annual sale of Poppies. And, noting the
basic purpose of the annual sale of Poppies is the desire to
"Honor The Dead by Helping The Living". And, Mayor Lobe declared
May 19, 20, and 21 as "Poppies Days" in the City of Bremerton.
Representatives from Post 68, 149 and 239 accepted the
Proclamation.
Richard Chrisinaer invited everyone to attend the Flagpole
Dedication on May 29, 3:00 PM, at the Kitsap County Fairgrounds,
sponsored by Chief Kitsap District OF Boy Scouts Of America,
Chief Kitsap County Chapter of State Centennial Commission and
Kitsap Peninsula Veterans Organization. The Boy Scouts procured
three 50+ foot flagpoles to be erected at the Fairgrounds.
Don Pratt stated the City of Bremerton received an Honor Award
from the Washington Chapter Of The American Planning Association
and the Planning Association Of Washington for the process that
the City underwent in implementing the new Zoning Ordinance. The
Zoning Ordinance itself is a fairly straight forward Zoning
Ordinance, not one of the "state of the arts", but the process
used in notifying citizens as to what was going on and the Errors
And Corrections process was what the City submitted for the
award.
Mr. Collins stated when he visited the Mayor of Portsmouth, VA,
recently he presented him with a Key To The City Of Bremerton
from Mayor Lobe and in return presented a pewter chalice from
the Mayor of Portsmouth to Mayor Lobe.
Don Atkinson, Bremerton Main Street Association, announced 20,000
people are anticipated for the Armed Forces Parade to be held
Saturday, May 20, with the Children Parade at 9:00 AM and Grand
Parade at 10:00 AM, 20 High School Bands, major Military units
including personnel and equipment from Fort Lewis and McCord AFB,
Naval Base Seattle, along with displays along the downtown
waterfront. And, the Market Class at Olympic College has the
Downtown Facility Survey underway which will be going on for 2-3
weeks more. New banners have been installed in the downtown area
along Pacific and he thanked Mrs. Horton for designing and
manufacturing the banners.
Don Atkinson read into the record two brief letters from Brem-Air
Disposal Inc., which discussed the purpose behind mandatory
garage pick up (mandated by the City of Bremerton) and the

importance of universal garbage pickup - not the volume of inert
or recyclable materials, but the presence of potential health
hazards. In additional to refuse collection, sanitary refuse
storage is also critical for control of domestic flies. all
containers should be constructed of durable materials, and should
be kept clean and covered. Boxes, cartons and bags should be
avoided. Mr. Atkinson explained that Brem-Air Disposal Inc.,
desired to clarify how the Ordinance functions, who is
responsible and why they are as they are.
6B - ORDINANCE #4211 (SECOND READING) RELATING TO PARKING CONTROL
#AB89-4211
Ian Sievers, City Attorney, pointed out changes made during the
first reading which included: (1) removal of references to
restrictions on parking on planting strips. The first change was
to Section 1...in first reading it read "provided parking on
street planting strips is allowed where the City Engineer
determined the strip is a sufficient width and in a condition
which does not pose a hazard to motorist or pedestrian and has
posted signs authorizing such parking" - this section has now
been deleted. (2) In Section 2 - added a section which the City
has always had as part of its adoption of the Model Traffic
Ordinance - now that section is being excluded which makes it
unlawful to park on planting strips and sidewalks. In the first
reading there was a section in the ordinance that has now been
removed which repealed the City's unique chapter on Parking
Strips, allowing parking on those strips and defining a parking
strip as the strip of public right-of-way adjacent to the
travelled roadway, which in all cases includes the sidewalk. (3)
Removal of penalty for parking on planting strips. Mr. Sievers
stated he felt he may have gone beyond the Council's direction in
trying to resolve the inconsistency that has always existed in
the Code for the past year or so. And, he went further and
allowed parking on sidewalks which is implicit in the current
Ordinance and questioned if Council would desire to clarify the
prohibition to reclaim the sidewalks and prohibit parking on
sidewalks but simply to allow parking on planting strips. Mr.
Waibel pointed out another conflict has been created if the
$50.00 fine for parking on sidewalks is included in the proposed
ordinance. Mr. Sievers stated this would be considered another
change in order to be consistent. At this point he felt it was
time to prohibit parking on sidewalks as it is a real generator
of liability for the Risk Management Fund.
Mrs. Horton stated that the direction of the Parking Committee is
that they clearly want to prohibit parking on planting strips
wherever possible and absolutely need to get parking off the
sidewalks. In talking with the Committee they decided there is
need for some definitions and terms, such as: "what is a planting
strip", "what is a sidewalk" and when a recommendation from the
Committee is brought back, it will include those definitions so
that everything is very clear. In the interim, she supported
establishing that parking on a sidewalk is an infraction and
simply remove the planting strip portion.
Don Atkinson, Bremerton Main Street Association, stated the
business community would like to request the portion of the
Parking Ordinance that relates to downtown be tabled for more
discussion and the opportunity for more input.
De1 Knauss, 309 Olympic, member of the Parking Committee, stated
it was the intent of the Committee that there be no parking on
sidewalks. And, he urged Council members to never vote in favor
of guaranteed commuter parking in residential areas.
Elizabeth Bue11, 1722 High Avenue, questioned if she heard
correctly that there were no signs that said "no parking on

sidewalk" in the City? President Horninc stated no reference had
been made regarding signs.
Georce Allan, 1300 Dawn Rd., stated more definitions are needed
regarding sidewalks, parking strips, boardwalks, asphalt walks,
etc.
Mr. Collins expressed concern that in West Bremerton there are 8
miles of streets that are without sidewalks, without parking
strips, and in order to meet requirement of the people who live
on the residential streets there needs to be some very finite
definition as to what is a curb, sidewalk, planting strip, etc..
Mr. Crutcher expressed concern over the investment made by some
property owners in upgrading their planting strip by having it
paved and improved and did not want to be taking something away
from the citizens that they have funded in order to improve the
City.
Mrs. Horton stated she would like this issue tabled in order to
simply get the definition of sidewalk clarified. The Parking
Committee is working on the planting strip parking issue and they
will be bringing it back to Council as a composite whole,
however, there are things in the ordinance that need to be moved
forward.

7A - PUBLIC HEARING - TO ACCEPT PUBLIC COMMENT AND TO CONSIDER A
75% PETITION TO ANNEX THE 17.5 ACRE LILAC LANE ANNEXATION AREA
AND (FIRST READING) OF RELATED ANNEXATION/ZONING ORDINANCE,
#AB89-138
On March 8, 1989, the City Council gave its tentative approval to
the Lilac Lane Annexation and decided to apply appropriate City
zoning and to require the area to assume its share of the City's
indebtedness. Since that time, the owners of 18 lots in this
area, comprising more than 75% of the total assessed value, have
submitted petitions to annex. This is a public hearing to
consider the 75% petition, to accept comments pertaining to the
annexation and related matters, and to make the final decision on
this annexation.
President Horninc asked the "Appearance Of Fairness/Conflict Of
Interest" question with all Council members being seated.
Ron Houch, Annexation Coordinator, provided a view graph showing
the location - area is an unincorporated island of Kitsap County
which is surrounded by the City of Bremerton. Lilac Lane
Annexation Area consists of approximately 17.5 acres and 26
individual lots. Most of the lots have direct access to either
Lilac Lane or Harlow Drive. The area is located west of the Auto
Center Way business area.
Existing land uses in the area include single family homes and
mobile homes. The entire Lilac Lane Annexation Area is presently
included in the Kitsap County Comprehensive Plan designation of
"Urban". That designation promotes the "Urban Concentration
Concept by using urban land to the maximum extent feasible",
#2655

according to the Central Kitsap Subarea Plan.
The Annexation Area is also covered by the Bremerton
Comprehensive Plan, which was adopted in 1986. Nearly all of the
Annexation Area is included in the designation "Residential, 0-7
Units per acre" A small portion of the eastern side borders the
Auto Center Way area and may fall partially into the
"Industrial/Business Park" designation. The Comprehensive Plan
is intended to be general in its application and not "site
specific". At the present time the entire Annexation Area is
considered to be residential.
The proposed Zoning is to Single-Family (SF-2), which has a
minimum lot size of 9,600 sq. ft. The recommended SF-2 zoning
will allow new development to a maximum density of about four
units per acre, which is similar to but slightly lower than the
present County zoning. If the properties are developing without
a sewer system they may be limited to about 3 1/2 units per acre
or lots of 12,500 sq. ft.
The Lilac Lane Annexation is on the Boundary Review Board's May
18 meeting agenda for possible action. To date, there has been
no "official" request to review this annexation. However, the
City has received unofficial word that such a request will be
made by the County Commissioners. The Boundary Review Board
recently received a letter from Kitsap County Commissioner Billie
Eder noting the following points: (1) this annexation appears to
involve reasonably logical boundaries; (2) is not being sought to
see a density or development that is inconsistent with County
Land Use Policies; (3) complex jurisdictional issues will not
result; (4) annexation has merit.
An Annexation Zoning Ordinance is included which would complete
the annexation of the 26 lots, has an Exhibit A describing the
annexation area, legal description and map, as well as the
recommendation for Single-family (SF-2) zoning, states the
properties will share the City's indebtedness with the ordinance
going into affect 10 days following passage and publication or
final approval by the Boundary Review Board, whichever occurs
later.
President Hornin~ questioned the part of the Boundary Review
Board in this process? Mr. HouGh stated all annexations have to
go to the Boundary Review Board which sits and waits until
someone takes some action. Residents around the area or in the
area or another jurisdiction have to petition for a review. If a
review is requested then the BRB invokes jurisdiction and they
have 120 days to do a review. If no review is held then the
annexation becomes complete in 45 days.
Mr. Johnson requested that a letter received from Me1 and Jane
Wortman be read into the record. Mr. Hanna, Deputy City Clerk,
read into the record a letter received from Mel and Jane Wortman
stating their support of the annexation request.

7B - WHITLOCK ZONING REVIEW - TO ACCEPT PUBLIC COMMENTS AND
CONSIDER A ZONING REVIEW COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION REGARDING THE
CORRECTION OF A ZONING ERROR ON WYCOFF AVENUE, #AB89-139
Upon adoption of the City's new Zoning Ordinance, the City
Council established a "Correction Of Errors" process to find and
correct errors in the text of the ordinance and in the
application of zoning to specific properties or areas.
Cecil Whitlock suspected a zoning error on Wycoff Avenue between
Sixth and Burwell and applied for a Zoning Review. The Zoning
Review Committee conducted a review on April 25, 1989, and the
Committee's recommendation is now being forwarded to the City
Council for a public hearing and final decision.
Ron Hough, Planning, provided a view graph showing the location
- this block lies immediately west of the Callow Business
District and most of the properties along the east side of Wycoff
are separated from Callow businesses by an existing alley and
also by a fairly radical topographic change. The residences on
Wycoff are considerably higher in elevation than are the Callow
businesses.
This block of Wycoff contains 31 dwelling units. Of those, nine
are single-family homes, ten are in duplex structures, six are in
tri-plex structures, and the remaining six units are in the
applicant's six-plex on the west side of Wycoff. The vast
majority of the structures on this block are old and many are
seriously deteriorated. However, the applicant's six-plex was
constructed in 1985 and is the newest structure on the block.
Wycoff is a heavily used north/south street and truck route.
There is some encroachment of commercial businesses at the north
end of the block near Sixth, but most of the traffic is passing
through the area and is not generated by those businesses. Most
of the block remains residential in character.
Both sides of Wycoff are designed on the City's Comprehensive
Plan as "Commercial", along with other areas of the Callow
Business District. That plan designation conflicts with the
existing development in the area and with the current residential
zoning. Thus, the Plan does not appear to be a helpful guide in
determining whether or not an error occurred in "residential"
zoning.
Prior to the adoption of the City's new Zoning Ordinance and Map
in 1988, this block of Wycoff had been zoned for a combination of
commercial ("C" Zone) and high-density residential (R-2 Zone).
All the commercial businesses, including the grocery warehouse,
were included in the Commercial zone, as was about two-thirds of
the east side of the block. The southern portion of the block
and about half of the west side were included in the R-2
residential zone. Under that zoning, the applicant constructed
the existing six unit apartment building in 1985. He also
purchased the lot across the street with the assumption that its
high density residential zoning would remain intact - it didn't.
With adoption of the new Zoning Ordinance, the applicant's six-

plex became a nonconformity in the Single-family (SF-3) zone and
his vacant property across the street was changed from R-2 to DR
(Duplex Residential). The development potential of that lot
fell from about 16 units under the old R-2 zoning to 2 units
under the DR zoning. The grocery warehouse also became a
nonconformity, as did two residential properties on the west side
of Wycoff. One triplex on the east side of Wycoff is now
nonconforming while the other triplex was zoned Mixed Residential
(MR). MR is a high-density zone that allows a mix of apartments
and compatible offices or other businesses. The property
consists of only a triplex and the reasons for the application of
the MR zone to this single 5,400 sq. ft. lot are unclear. It is
very possibly an error.
At the south end of this block, south of Burwell, both sides of
Wycoff are zoned Multi-family (MF). However, there is no
existing multi-family development. In fact, two of the three
affected lots are vacant and the third is used for parking in
conjunction with a Callow Avenue business and is in the same
ownership as that business property. The property drops off
steeply from Wycoff and vehicle access is from the alley.
Apparently, the City decided that because these three properties
were formerly zoned R-2 they should remain in a high-density
residential zone. Thus, they were zoned MF.
The Zoning Review Committee determined the following conclusions
and recommendations:
(1) The single lot MR zone appears to be an error and should be
removed.
(2) This block is very
transportation and is not
residential development.

(4) The Comprehensive Plan favors commercial development.
Multi-family residential development would be more compatible
with the Callow business district activities than would single-
family homes. And, a multi-family zoning designation would give
this block greater improvement potential.
(5) The MF zoning of the vacant lots south of Burwell reflects
the previous R-2 zoning pattern that continued northward to
include the applicant's properties.
(6) There does not appear to be any justification for the
removal of the R-2 zoning in favor of SF-3 and DR zoning.
Removal of development and redevelopment opportunities could hurt
this area more than help it and might also promote stagnation and
blight.
(7) There was no justifiable reason to phase out the grocery
warehouse through the application of residential zoning. This is
a relatively quiet establishment use on a truck route and the
site can not be easily converted to residential use. Nothing
would be lost in including this business in the GB zone.
(8) The reasons for the retention of the MF zone at the south
end of this block are unclear. Those properties do not appear to
have any advantages over other lots on the block for multi-family
development except that they are currently vacant. An option
would be to extend the MF zone to the north to return the multi-

family zoning to properties that formerly enjoyed R-2 zoning to
encourage redevelopment in this area.
(9) The applicant's vacant lot, on the east side of Wycoff, is
10,500 sq. ft., in area. Present DR zoning limits it to a
duplex. Multi-family (MF) zoning would permit as many as five
units on the property. The applicant claims the old R-2 zoning
would have permitted 16 units on this lot. The City does not
have a zone that would permit 16 units on this property today.
President Hornina asked the "Appearance Of Fairness/Conflict Of
Interest" question with all Council members being seated.
M/S/C/U(Waibel/Crutcher) to approve this correction to the Zoning
Map, as recommended by the Zoning Review Committee, changing the
applicant's property and other residential properties in this
block of Wycoff Avenue from SF-3 and DR zoning to Multi-family
(MF} zoning, and the General Business (GB) district would be
adjusted to include existing businesses near sixth street.
Dorothy Downey requested to speak to Resolution 2247, which
is to be held over until Thursday, May 18. She questioned if the
City had considered a senior citizen one-time-only license fee
for neutered and spayed animals? She strongly supports
establishing a Senior Citizen Animal Adoption Committee, who
would encourage senior citizens to adopt a pet, helping save the
life of an animal and providing many hours of enjoyment for
senior citizen. Mr. Waibel noted the Police Chief was asked to
look into the possibility of a senior citizen pet license fee 6-8
months ago and he will follow up on this item.
